Hi Experts, I need to select an element and store in a variable, but not the child element of that particular element. My XML <book><title><indexterm>Violent Extremism</indexterm> Sacred Values, and what it Means to be Human</title></book> My XSLT: <xsl:variable name="filename"><xsl:value-of select="book/title except child::indexterm"/></xsl:variable> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:message><xsl:value-of select="$filename"/></xsl:message> </xsl:template> My Current output: Violent ExtremismSacred Values, and what it Means to be Human My Expected output: Sacred Values, and what it Means to be Human The content of "indexterm" element should not be part of the file name. I need to ignore that element while selecting the title element. Can you please give me the solution for this? I am not sure if I am using in the right way of "except" expression. I am using XSLT 2.0 and Saxon. Thanks Srinivasan
